I didn’t understand your point about Mihir and Noina. The precap seems to be Noina gaining sympathy as she said in the episode that now she will make him guilty over her like how he’s feeling for Tulsi. She’s now going to act victim by marrying that man and make it seem like it’s because of Mihir. Because Mihir knows that man is not a good person (who also may be hired by Noina like the last man), he will feel guilty over Noina too and think he has destroyed her life too. She’s such a sick woman. Now again Mihir out of basic humanity which he would’ve showed to any woman will try to save her from that man or feel guilty, but this disgusting woman would be again like I know he loves me and he wouldn’t have done if he didn’t love me
What I meant was that there’s an interesting parallel running between Mihir and Noyna here. Both have a younger sibling they confide in, and both of them know that these siblings will never defy them. Mihir knows Kiran is the one person right now he has in front of whom he can talk about how he has cheated on Tulsi yet again, and instead of criticising him, Kiran will support him and do as told and asked.
Suchitra keeps telling Noyna that she won’t succeed, how she shouldn’t try to go after a married man, the same as Kiran tried to stop Mihir from making sure everything he owns is not transferred to Tulsi; and essentially both of them had the same impact on their elder siblings - zilch.
For Noyna, Suchitra may yet be shown as a co-conspirator but the fact that she’s trying to get Mihir to feel guilty by making him think he drove her into the arms of that sleazeball, while he is likely a paid stooge or maybe someone Noyna has intentionally flirted with in the past enough to dangle a rope in front of him that keeps him dancing but that rope also doubles down as a leash she can use to control him and keep him at bay if required. Ergo the comparison with lombdi.
Though I find it absolutely hilarious and absurd that she thinks this act of hers will hasten up the process of making Mihir hers. What if it backfires like how things do for Malti? Mihir maybe guilty, confess and the cat gets out of the bag but Tulsi doesn’t divorce him - instead she punishes him and by extension Noyna - by staying married to him and ensuring that Noyna never gets a legal status as a partner let alone as a wife. She can’t let Mihir leave after giving her everything he owns she’s hardly about to enjoy watching the father of her children live as a hermit or on the streets. Neither will she be comfortable with keeping his money as she knows it’s his familial legacy and inheritance which should pass from him to their children. She knows her children wouldn’t want to suddenly lose a father too, not in this manner. Not when they have grandchildren old enough to be married in a couple of years too.
He stays but this time around they are no more than strangers sharing a roof. His punishment is to stay and know that the woman who has loved him all her life now has no love left for him and he has to accept and live with that for the rest of their lives, at a stage when it’s said companionship is the most beautiful part of life, especially with someone with whom you have grown old together. For the first time you get time to yourselves as a couple truly as your responsibilities are now lighter. You’re not the son and bahu, bhai and bhabhi, mother and father and all those other things that keep you busy for the longest time of your lives. You are finally two people who have done as much and as well as you two could for everyone and now it’s time for you to focus on yourselves and each other. Enjoy and relax truly in the dusk of your life. Play with your grandchildren, go out on walks with each other, take that trip that work/family/life kept you away from for the longest time. The biggest punishment for Mihir would be to lose Tulsi at this stage, while sharing a roof with her as she becomes a stranger to him and stays a wife in all but name.
Divorcing him is an easy option and gives him a way out of his guilt because he’s already equated his monetary worth as enough of a compensation for the hurt and humiliation he’s about to cause his wife again. Then why make it so easy and so cheap? He should pay… but with more than his net worth in money…
Also for Mihir, the comparison stems from him not squeaking a single word of protest as Hemant heaped praises on him and compared him to Prabhu Ram yet again (they really need to stop this) - and also knowing that his guilt needs a vent, a non-judgmental and supportive one - and he picked the one brother who he knew wouldn’t call him out on his philandering, not once be disgusted by or ashamed of him.
